$25 per hour for 1 child

Hey there. My name is Tashar and I’m currently a Junior at UMASS Lowell where I take classes on Monday and Wednesday but fully available rest of the days at anytime to be there for your loved ones.. I am offering child care and household services. I enjoy and love being a babysitter since I have been doing it since I was 17 with my siblings and other families as well. I have been both a nanny and a babysitter for 4 years now and I love and enjoy taking care and looking after little ones. I have worked with babies of different age groups and I love what I do because it corresponds to what I go to school for. Besides that, I’m compassionate about seniors and I have worked with them part time in nursing homes and at their place of residence. I love running errands, light housekeeping and cleaning , driving and spending time with people I’m taking care of. I’m allergic to cats but welcome to work with dogs.

I collaborate with a team of caregivers to develop age-appropriate learning experiences, encourage social and emotional growth, and maintain open communication with parents. This experience has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and adaptability, while fostering a positive and engaging atmosphere for children’s learning and development.

$33 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been a nanny for the past twelve years, with experience ranging from infant to early elementary school aged. I just wrapped up my most recent job as the family’s needs are changing and now I’m looking for work while I figure out what’s next for me. I love keeping kids active and engaged, with plenty of outdoor time as the weather permits. I don’t drive, so I can only take jobs that are MBTA accessible; I’m also experienced and comfortable with taking kids on the t/bus if necessary. Currently, my availability open and pretty flexible, I’m open to one off gigs, temporary jobs, or longer term (1-2 years).

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m currently a graduate student at Merrimack College and I also work full time at RTX. I’m located in Malden, MA Outside of my education and work, I love to be in nature and spend a lot of my time at the beach with friends and family. I love kids and believe I have a great, sociable personality that allows me to understand kids with ease. I have babysat for multiple age groups since the age of 16, and I started in 2015! I have worked in both a summer program and day care, and I have been a personal babysitter for a lovely family in Massachusetts with two 4 year old twins and a 7 year old at the time. I can reference this family for anyone who would like to connect with them! More recently, my best friend had a beautiful baby boy who just turned 4 months and I’ve had the pleasure of being trusted to take care of him. He is truly such a sweet baby, and I believe kids always have the ability to teach me something new. Recently, I have began to help watch my boyfriend’s niece (16 months) and nephew (5yo). I am also an animal lover. I really love dogs and cats and I plan to get one soon. Please feel free to reach out to me about anything at all, and I look forward to servicing you! :)

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."

Eric D., dad of two
